Gov. Andrew Cuomo says the agreement follows a Department of Financial Services probe into complaints about Empire sending out member ID cards late, failing to send bills on time and other issues.

Empire spokeswoman Sally Kweskin says Sunday the company voluntarily offered compensation to consumers who had problems signing up for coverage or accessing benefits during the turbulent rollout of the state's New York State of Health marketplace.

An estimated 15,000 to 20,000 Empire consumers are expected to receive the financial relief. Empire has also committed $2 million to consumer education to encourage enrollment in health care coverage through the state marketplace.

A weak ridge of high pressure brought us a nice Sunday with very comfortable summer conditions. Overnight a strong area of low pressure will push east from the Great Lakes. We'll notice an increase in winds late tonight with gusts as high as 30 mph at times. On Monday a strong frontal system will move across the region during the early to late afternoon bring the risk of strong to severe thunderstorms. Behind this system cool and unstable air will allow the chance for showers Tuesday and Wednesday afternoon. Cool dry weather will arrive at the end of the week.
